Selection of Books in Encyclopedia

However, nowadays, the book market is booming, and various versions of books emerge one after another, which makes it difficult to choose. How can we get rid of wild sand and get real gold?

1. The first choice for the volume should be the series of New Scholars Integration published by Zhonghua Book Company. This set of books is a disgusting work by experts in Chinese studies, and its textual research, analysis and annotation all represent the highest achievements of today. Take several scholars as examples: Yang Bojun, Zhu, Wang, etc. , are knowledgeable. In addition, as the publishing center of classical studies, Zhonghua Book Company also has great influence in academic circles.

2. Since there is a "new integration of philosophers", there must be a "integration of philosophers". The Scholars is a series of books published by Zhonghua Book Company. This book brings together 28 representative works of philosophers from the pre-Qin period to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The feature of this book is that the Analects of Confucius and Mencius are placed among all the philosophers, equally. The book version is of high value, and the selected books are carefully carved and based on the school. The fly in the ointment is that many books have no notes, which is obviously a bit difficult for beginners.

3. Twenty-two Children by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House is also a good work. It is also a photocopy of an old engraving, with a good version and insufficient annotations. There are Huangdi Neijing, Chronology of Bamboo Slips and Fan Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period in the book, which are not found in other sub-books. On the whole, its version is more valuable.

4. The biggest feature of Hundred Books is that it contains many books: 100 kinds. Zhejiang Ancient Books Publishing House photocopied the book Sweeping the Wild Mountain House, all in handwritten small letters and in two volumes. In fact, this book is not as good as the above books. In order to collect all kinds of 100 books, there are many fake books, and the selection of the base books is not careful. So this book has little influence in academic circles, but it's good to browse casually. After all, his bibliography is much more than others, and it is worth reading.

The biggest misunderstanding of reading all kinds of sub-books is that most people only read uncommon sub-books, even sub-books forged by later generations, in order to show off their wealth; It is an extreme practice to ignore the major works of Laozi, Zhuangzi and Han Xun. Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi and Han Xun should be the main readers. These books are extremely precious in literature and academic history. They are the source of wisdom and academic treasure. You can browse the rest of the fascicles, but be careful when using them, because there are too many fake books in China, especially fascicles.
